DTS worth it on Tip Avant?
 

I see there is a group buy going on for the Autospeed DTS.

Much has been said in the forums about it's benefits to the 6 speed, but are there benefits for the Tip tranny too?

I drive my Avant in Tip mode 98% of the time, and it has a Tip chip. Occasionally in auto mode or whatever I do get some light clunks from the drive train. I have had the tranny flush about 8K ago, so it's not that.

Anyway, is there sufficient benefit to drop the $225? It is an Avant and not a 300hp sport sedan, but still, I drive it aggressively.

Thoughts, opinions, suggestions for lunch?

i'd have to say no... DTS for manuals ..yes.. but for us tip boys.. not worth it

Doubt it.

Slight Hijak: DTS vs. Snub Mount
 

(I know this has been discussed before - so no "search" comments please...)

With the DTS buy going on, has anyone had recent or good experience in comparing the Snub Mount either with, or instead of, the DTS (on a manual car)?

The DTS is much more expensive, but easy DIY fitment... I want to understand if a Snub Mount is best (or not) and if so, does adding a DTS add very much to the effect?

Thanks

what year? concerning the clunk. if a 2000 might be the trans software

Useless for automatics.
 

shifting in tip is not the same as going through gears in a manual trans

Waste of money IMHO and anyone trying to sell one is dubious at best.

Thx... Many other uses for the money at this point
 

Hate to spend more on the audi if not necessary.

Secretly I hope to be the only A6 Avant on the track at quattrofest in a few weeks, so I've got some last minute mods to deal with.

hehe.. i'm sure one or two S6s will pop up..=))

It's a 99
 

And it seems to have issues similar to others on the forum, clunks when switching from R to D or Park to R, and on downshift from 2nd to 1st in auto mode.

Tip mode seems fine.
